[@robertwinkle3459]

Wow 👏👏. Awesome work my friend. True artist 👨‍🎨 right here. I wish I had an Ounce of your talent. Keep the vids coming!

[@Dylfunkle]

The motivational speech in the middle felt a little weird, but the entire rest of the video was good, thank you for sharing.

Something about the voice over at 5:00 made me think it wasn't serious. I don't know if it was the tone or the timing or what, but after every phrase I kept expecting a punchline or some snarky comment about the crotch-cam hahaha. But nope, it was all a serious message. Very strange.

Thanks for unlocking that mystery, and sharing this process with us, Kyle.

[@japcas]

Great looking work as usual. Can't wait to see the finished knife. Thanks for sharing. Excited to see the next episode.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Right now I am doing a lot of engraving and gold inlaying. So that will be next for this project!

Thanks for showing

I wonder if he knows how good he really is? I don’t know. I don’t even know if he actually realizes how good he is. It’s puzzling.

[@loff2637]

Awsome!

Could you tell me where you get your ivory? I have a source or two for mammoth, but I would love some more. Very cool video!

[@B355Y]

Came here from Instagram. Great video

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

That's awesome! I post videos here weekly! If you ever have any questions please ask! I plan on making a video using the questions you and other viewers have!

[@B355Y]

@@KyleRoyerKnives well my first question would be what kind of files do you use or recommend? I've made a few knives but nothing as intricate as the type of handle you're making in the video, I'd love to give it a try

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

@@B355Y Great question!! I will love to answer that in our Q&A video!

[@B355Y]

Love the little inspirational monologue

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks! That's my little brother!

[@jorismo9711]

Hello, thanks for the video. When you are carving the initial grooves in the handle you seem to be putting a wire in in between of filing them, is that to check depth/width or is that some flexible filing/ sanding tool to actually round the grooves?

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey Joris You’re right it’s to check the depth Be safe and be careful Team Royer

[@shanemccarthy1562]

Hey Kyle, was wondering what tool you used for marking the grid vertically. Thanks.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey Shane I think you’re referring to a wheel I made with degree marks on it. I use it for line layout I hope this helps Happy new year Kyle

So thaaat's how it's done lol. I've honestly never taken the time to look into how to flute a handle, very cool though and beautifully executed. Is this a new project or is it footage from the previous dagger you recently finished? I can't quite remember what the last one looked like or if it had a clamshell guard. I have a question about bedding the handle if you don't mind. I've always seen people use and suggest using Vaseline, as you did to, to keep it from adhering to the tang. I've personally been using a thick layer of paste wax, because I've always worried about there being leftover Vaseline on top of the epoxy inside the handle due to it rubbing off of the tang when first removing it, and thus not being able to properly and permanently use epoxy to adhere the handle (once it's finished being shaped etc.) to the tang due to there possibly being a thin layer of epoxy in between the dried, bedded epoxy and the fresh epoxy used to fix it to the tang. Have you every experience any problems with this? I know I probably wouldn't matter that much on a take-down anyway since it's being held on with a bolt, but I like to bed my hidden tang handles which are permanently epoxied in place regardless, as it sure makes shaping things a lot nicer. Thanks again for sharing! Take care :)

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Great question Isubslimed! In the future we are going to have a Q and A video, answering great questions like yours. Because I do want to answer your questions in the clearest and most detail way possible! So Keep up the great questions!!

5:25 I was hoping for some cheesy joke

[@shannanschisler9577]

I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
